Chapter 392 Resettlement of the Wanderers

In the pacification of Liangzhou, the Xiliang army consumes countless grain and fodder materials. In addition, the reconstruction of Chang'an, the treasury is no longer sufficient. Even with the financial resources accumulated over the years, it can't stand such extravagance. Zhang Li hastily added so many disaster-stricken people. Zhang Li is naturally anxious. He complained to Jia Rong many times and listened to Zhang Li's expenses of Xiliang Army. Jia Rong was ashamed of his face.

"Lord, we don't have much food and fodder supplies in our army. I'm afraid we are incompetent." Zhang Fazhi showed a look of worry.

Zhang Zhao, who was beside him, also looked embarrassed. They were internal affairs officials. The people suffered and should be responsible for the deployment of food and fodder. They could have barely survived this winter, but it was an unexpected change.

"Zi Bu, except for the county guards, our army currently has 60,000 elite soldiers. Please clear how long the food in the warehouse can last."

"The income of Xianlian Pavilion is also included." Jia Rong added.

"Lord, in this case, the affected people under our army will spend this winter." Zhang Zhao liquidated a little and got the result.

"Master, that craftsman's workshop?" Jia Xu reminded that the existence of the craftsman's workshop mostly depends on the basis of Xianlian Pavilion, and the iron materials in it are provided by Xianlian Pavilion.

Jia Rong pondered for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with Pu Yuan, so that the craftsman's workshop can save it and put the people first."

Jia Xu leaned over and said yes, and the two brothers of the Zhang family also nodded.

"Lord, there are a lot of exiles around Chang'an, and some of them even come from the mainland states and counties. I don't know how to deal with them?" Zhang Lidao.

"A command the workshop to be responsible for building simple wooden houses outside the city, but to withstand the cold winter snow, the people can come to Chang'an, that is, trust in Chang'an, so that these people can have a place to live." Jia Rong thought for a moment and said.

The first three people were shocked and gathered the exiles. There are so many exiles in troubled times. In addition, this year's big men have suffered from drought, and there are more exiles. It doesn't matter if they take in some on weekdays, but the Xiliang army itself does not have enough financial resources. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to collect them again.

"Lord, no, our military food and grass is enough to support the land of Liangzhou, but it is a little difficult for the exiles." Zhang Libai said.

Zhang Zhao said, "Lord, the exiles are not the people of our Liangzhou, but also the spies related to the Eastern princes, which are not good for our army. Please think twice."

"As a Han minister, the people of other states and counties are also Han people. Why can't I save them? In the future, the daily grain and fodder will be distributed according to the amount. As long as they spend this winter, the exiles must be saved. The two Lord Zhang go back to work hard and write down the plan. As for the problem of money and food, I will solve it." Speaking here, Jia Rong looked up at the cloudy sky.

In troubled times, what is fighting is the people, the people who do not have it. No matter how big the territory is, only those short-sighted princes will expel the people under their rule.

The world of those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times is very simple, but it is difficult to do.

The orders of the general's mansion were issued one by one. A dense wooden house was soon built outside Chang'an City. The bottom of these houses was accumulated with stone, and the upper part was made of wood, which can also be called strong. At least there is no problem to spend this winter.

The people fled their homes in order to continue to survive. When Jia Rong gave them hope for survival, there was no reason not to work hard. Men, women, old and young, they were all involved in the construction of houses. There were many young people among these displaced people. Jia Rong took the opportunity to recruit young people to join the army among the displaced people. The displaced people were originally poor. Generations, seeing that there are many benefits in the army, I am happy to yearn for it.

The general's mansion provides food, but there are no people without labor. This is also Jia Rong's new idea after seeing that the people spontaneously participate in building houses. If he feeds these exiles, he will get something from the exiles. Thinking of this, Jia Rongruo has something.

The weather has gradually become cold. The people who first arrived have begun to move in after registering with the government. These houses are much better than the original houses of some people. However, these people work non-stop every day, reclaiming fields and repairing roads. Even the official's mansions living in the west of the city are also Jia Rong. Although the replacement attracted the opposition of many officials, it was still suppressed by Jia Rong.

Although the drought is serious, there is no starvation to death in Liangzhou, a barren land in the eyes of outsiders. People everywhere are very grateful to the officials. In the past, when they encountered disasters, officials could not avoid it. Suddenly, when they met such good officials, their gratitude can be imagined.

In less than a month, the number of exiles gathered in Chang'an reached 50,000 to 60,000.

"Lord, there are more and more floating people. According to this situation, it will be difficult to spend this winter." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"Let the Su Jiawei family and the Mi family in Xuzhou prepare food and fodder for the general's mansion. No matter what the price is, the people outside the city should not starve to death." Jia Rong said firmly.

Jia Rong's decision was not beyond Jia Xu's expectation. He abandoned the people and has not appeared since the establishment of the Xiliang Army.

"And these people can't be idle. They have to pay as much labor as they eat. I see that the officials and roads in the counties of Liangzhou have been in disrepair, so that these people can build roads, and the general's mansion provides them with food and accommodation."

"In order to prevent drought in Liangzhou in the future, water conservancy will be built everywhere." Jia Rong said slowly.

Zhang Zhao praised when he heard the words, "My lord said this kindly, and I expected that those people would not complain."

Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of another matter that asked the lone wolf soldiers to inquire about a few days ago. He picked up the brush and drew two circles on the map, "Order Hua Xiong's troops to be stationed here, and Li Meng's troops are stationed here."

Jia Xu was puzzled and still conveyed Jia Rong's order.

"Be careful not to disturb the people. If there are people living here, don't be reckless." Jia Rong told him.

Jia Xu nodded and said yes, and sighed secretly, "Jia Rong can kill the family, but he is extremely kind to the people. I don't know if it is the blessing of the Xiliang Army."

One of these two places is in the south of Anding County, and the other is in Shagu Mountain in Beida County. If you look at the map of later generations, you can see that these two places produce coal at a glance.

Coal was not used in the Han Dynasty. The creation of weapons depends on charcoal. There is not enough temperature. It is very difficult to forge a sharp blade.

With coal, not only can the problem of weapons be solved, but also the problem of warmth in the cold winter can be solved.

"Recruit the young men among the people and rush to these two places to do things according to Pu Yuan's instructions." Jia Rong ordered.

Nearly 60,000 of the exiles, more than 30,000 were sent to build roads and canals. They picked out the strong people from the rest and rushed to the two places circled by Jia Rong.

Looking at the barren and barren mountains, Hua Xiong was puzzled by Jia Rong's order. Now it is the time when the Xiliang army is struggling to live, but 1,500 people and horses have been sent to this lonely mountain to garrison. They are surrounded by the control of the Xiliang Army, and there is no way to fight.

Li Meng was originally Hua Xiong's general and was appointed as a battalion general. He also wanted to show his ambitions in his chest. Unexpectedly, he was assigned to shoot Gushan, a place where birds did not shit. His anger was all vented on the soldiers, with the medical soldiers in the cooking class. A total of more than 800 people were trained by him day and night.

When Liu Blacksmith led the people to this place, he saw such a grand event.

Wuwei is the birthplace of famous wine in later generations. Jia Rong ordered Wuwei Taishou to set up a winery to specialize in the production of this wine. It has to be said that the wisdom of the ancients is indeed strong. Jia Rong's rough formula is exchanged for the best exquisite wine, which is a little different from the wine of later generations, but it also makes Jia Rong very satisfied. .

Mining coal mines depends on the labor force of the stranded people. These people were originally raised by the Xiliang army, but there was no trouble. The coal mines in the two places are very large. If you don't dig deep, you can get the best coal blocks. The carriages are transported to Chang'an.

In the deep winter, the number of exiles under the Xiliang Army has reached 100,000. The governors in various places have built large-scale construction of dilapidated government buildings, and the restaurants also provide labor force. In the eyes of outsiders, this is tantamount to laboring the people and hurting money, but it has greatly alleviated the crisis of the Xiliang Army.

"Promoting internal consumption!" Many restaurants have to give more or less face to the government. Other restaurants have become magnificent after decoration, and the heart of comparison is quietly revealed, especially in the two places of Jincheng Chang'an. There are many rich businessmen, and they don't care about a little money at all.

Jia Rong's house has burned coal transported from the north of Anding. The house is as warm as spring. Many mansions in Chang'an City are burning coal. Driven by Jia Rong, burning coal has become the living habit of upper-class people. Of course, these officials' homes are not free.

The price of coal is still not low. Coal is underground and not eye-catching. Jia Rong once again enjoys the benefits of advanced knowledge.

Sitting on **, leisurely tasting the wine produced by Wuwei, and sitting on both sides is the wife.

"General, Lord Zhang, please meet!" The maid Yingying said softly.

Cai Yanweifu got up and walked out of Jia Rong's room.

"Lord Zhang came here and didn't know what was going on?" Jia Rong looked at Zhang Li with a red face and asked with a smile.

"Lord, Wuwei has brought another batch of good wine, specially brought to the master to taste."

Jia Rong stared at Zhang Li and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it? If there is anything, just say it directly.

"Lord, although the problem of the exiles has been solved, the Emperor of Han left Chang'an. The lord should communicate more with the court in Yanzhou, just like the resettlement of the exiles this time, which is a great achievement. Why don't you report it to the emperor?"

"The position of the lord's general depends on the Han Dynasty. If Cao Cao's strength exceeds the lord's strength, how can he be a Yanzhou shepherd at ease?" Zhang Li sat next to Jia Rong and continued to say, "With what the lord did, he must be able to make the world feel the benevolence and righteousness of the Xiliang army, attracting countless talented people to go there happily. At that time, the lord's power has been achieved. Even if Cao Cao has the intention to make trouble, he has to think about it."

"Well, it's up to you to handle this matter. Try the wine produced by Wuwei first." Jia Rong personally filled a cup for Zhang Li.

"No!" Zhang Li took the wine cup with both hands and took a sip, with a satisfied look on his face. Although he vowed not to drink at the beginning, this was wine, not ordinary wine. Zhang Li explained this in private, and Jia Rong did not break it.
